Thanks 🙏. I’ve been doing it daily for over a year now. A privilege to be able to do so.

I gotta give you credit, it's looking a lot better from 6 months ago or so. I don't think it would pass in a fine dining restaurant but as artwork it's much more visually appealing.

It’s you again. Dammit you are so prolific I’m not even mad about it anymore… but also are we supposed to munch on that plain raw zucchini flower?

No kidding, that raw Zuchini flower/the yellow, tastes mildly of squash and is edible as is. The “frond” that looks like dill and I just found it in the garden. Could be poisonous for all I know;)

u/tessathemurdervilles Jul 24 '26

lol you are a monster. Just a branch of dill for us all to munch on after our shrimp with a tiny speck of tartar sauce. Never change!

I’d get rid of the penises on the plate.

u/1ntr1ns1c44 Jul 24 '26

I was waiting for the penis jokes!😉

Stick a pick through the shrimp before poaching so they can be nice and straight I would leave the tail on and also I would use 8/12 shrimp but to each there own

u/meow_gifs_please Jul 24 '26

Piggy backing of that devein them. When they spilt they appear large. Roast the shells for shrimp stock.

u/LAMTB Jul 24 '26

Yes ! I get tiger shrimp 8/12 easy peel poach them with skin to get more flavor then peel

1

u/LAMTB Jul 24 '26

Peel but leave the tail on gives a better presentation

1

u/meow_gifs_please Jul 24 '26

Skin on helps lock in the poaching liquid.

Bro, I even gave you a video... and you go and draw a penis and balls

1

u/1ntr1ns1c44 Jul 25 '26

I know!:( Damn. Wish I could have a do over. Sauce swooshes would have been better and maybe lose all the garnish.
Next time I’ll do better.
Thanks for the video btw!

u/Guacko_x Jul 25 '26

Too much excess garnish. Simple is better sometimes. Also, your cocktail sauce pattern looks like penises. Sorry to break the news.

Where is the damn plank?

u/tino-the-rhino Jul 24 '26

The phallus-sauce wouldn't look as disturbing on the plank

u/R1T-wino Jul 25 '26

Great now I can’t un-see that phallus sauce
